The atelier

A gardener and a joiner

We started in 2014 with one greenhouse restoration. Ten years on, we are a team of nine: designers, planters and two carpenters.

Bram De Smet

Joiner & builder

A furniture maker who moved outdoors. Bram designs and builds the pavilions in our own workshop near Deinze.

We don't hand over drawings and leave. We plant, we build, and for the first three years we come back every season.

How we work

One studio

Design, planting and joinery under one roof — no hand-offs between firms.

Local timber

Oak and sweet chestnut from Flemish woods, air-dried in our yard.

Peat-free

All plants come from peat-free nurseries within 200 km.

Three years

Seasonal care visits are part of every garden we plant.
